What it does

Email is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Email operations skill for sending, fetching, and reading emails via IMAP/SMTP. Uses curl with OpenSSL/LibreSSL for reliable TLS compatibility with Tencent Enterprise Mail and other providers. Credentials are securely stored in macOS Keychain.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Transactional email and Email management. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transactional email
  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/email”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Send Email (send-email.sh)
  2. Fetch Emails (fetch-emails.sh)
  3. Read Email (read-email.sh)
  4. Send a Quick Email
  5. Check Recent Emails
  6. Read Specific Email

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • tools.ietf.org
    • curl.se
    • ss64.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Email loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 648 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 648 words (~2,107 tokens).
